It's a gorgeous summer day in Ponyville, and both Tempest Shadow and Twilight Sparkle both have a bit of a situation on their hooves—they both want to take advantage of the nice weather and go on a relaxing date to get away from the chaos of the world.

But Twilight and Tempest both have very different ideas as to what they want out of dates. And, to make it more complicated, neither of them have ever been on a date before. So, seeking advice from their friends, the two wrestle with their feelings for each other and push to make this first date go well. At the end of the day, though, they are both still too afraid to ask.

My first story on FIMFiction; the first of many, I hope!

The draconequuses have always been feared and hated by the civilized creatures of the world. Naturally skilled at magic and with a penchant for mischief, they have long been a thorn in the sides of many and something to be detested.

Meet Cantrip, a young female draconequus and one of the last of her kind. For fourteen years she has lived in hiding and fear for when the ponies and griffons would come to take her too. Just another brutish creature to be wiped out.

But she won't go quietly, and what someponies might not know is that monsters aren't merely born.

They're made.

Note: This is technically an alternate universe, though it was intentionally written to mesh with the canon universe as seamlessly as possible. It shouldn't matter much.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Hey, someone forgot this show was made for eight-year-old girls, but thankfully we can weave a tale of post apocalyptic survival without alienating our core demographic. Come and journey with me into Fallout Equestria, TV-Y.
